MeetTwins: AI bot attends Google Meet calls for you

MeetTwins is being built by Indian developer Aditya Shinde, who describes it as inspired by his own desire to send an AI bot to his Google Meet calls. Rather than a general-purpose assistant, it is designed for a single purpose: to attend calls on behalf of its operator and relay only approved information, with certain topics designated off limits.

Prepping the tool involves telling it what questions to answer and providing documents or files participants may request. Shinde told The Register that if a prospect asks something not covered in the brief, MeetTwins will not improvise, and anything outside the defined discussion is referred back to its operator. The product is built using AI models from India-based firm Sarvam and can add a digital twin avatar created by Simli.

Shinde is aware that sending a bot in your place may not sit well with coworkers, so he has added the "/stop" escape hatch and says clearly labeling the bot as AI "actually builds trust" — though that may not hold with those skeptical of AI. The test is whether beta users find the time saved worth the friction with colleagues, and no launch date has been given.
